Difference Between This Forum & Help Me Forum
What is the difference between the Exercises Forum and the Help Me Forum? Both are for math content, right?

In the index in the forum, you can see the difference.

Re: Difference Between This Forum & Help Me Forum
If someone wants help with a question or topic the they should use the Help Me section.
If someone wants to challenge others with a problem it's the Exercises section. It is implicit that the questioner knows the answer themselves.

Excuse me for asking. I didn't know that I am expected to know everything.

Re: Difference Between This Forum & Help Me Forum
Yes, both forums deal with maths, but they have different objectives.
Exercises Forum: where complete math problems and solutions are posted. You practise there by working through or talking about exercises. You can verify other people's responses or share your own.
Use the Help Me Forum to ask questions when you're having trouble. You post a problem there for assistance or explanations, rather than just solutions, if you don't know where to begin or where you went wrong.
